Got there around 5am, crazy line by the time the gates opened. Met some good guys, i was there for ammo, 223/556 was limited to 250 rounds for reloads @ about $130. The rest of the ammo seemed fairly priced, just need to bring patience. Overall stuff was steeply priced, Blueline was there and I food talk with them.

The air was thick of uncertainty Abbott the looming laws to be imposed, cheers

Id say the crowds were bigger than I expected and there was a decent size line to enter in the AM. Once inside there were small to large lines for ammo depending on what vendor your were buying from. I wish they had large price sheets posted out front of the lines, they would have been helpful.

The overall crowd seemed pretty mellow and it was good to see a healthy turnout. The hot item seemed to be AR lowers which many of the vendors were already selling out of by the afternoon of the first day. There was a plentiful supply of magazine vendors selling both completes and rebuilds.

Got there around 12:30 to pick up a couple lowers and whatever other chotchkys I could find. Was surprised by the ammo lines and the packed parking lot. No line for tickets but have never seen this many people and vendors at a Ventura show, ever. I thought there was a good amount of things to buy and fiddle with. I asked about some rebuild kits for my XD, $65! Laughed at him and walked away. I'm glad I got my lowers and managed to find 500 9mm bullets for my brother. I did get word that someone showed up wanting to buy all the 5.56 they had, cash, but was told to FOAD, not sure if true but a good laugh. I didn't feel like waiting in the line for ammo but I still have my hand stamped so I may head back tomorrow to go through the leftovers. It seemed to be controlled chaos.

I bought some ammo at LAX..........when I returned to work on Monday, one of the guys told me he got some ammo at Walmart.........same brand, same caliber, same weight..........AT 1/2 THE PRICE LAX CHARGED ME. 9mm, 115 grain. remington.

The big question is when did your friend buy that ammo? My local WalMart is totally wiped out of everything.
